Faststream’s Experts on Demand gives maritime businesses rapid access to pre-vetted, fractional professionals who can fill gaps, lead projects, or provide fresh strategic insight, without the fixed cost or long-term commitment of a full-time hire.

When your business faces a critical gap, a complex project, or the need for specialist insight, waiting isn’t an option. Experts on Demand is Faststream’s flexible workforce solution, designed specifically for maritime and shipping organisations.
